Question

How many moles of iron can be made from Fe2O3 by the use of 16 mol of CO in the following reaction:

Fe203 + 3CO ---- 2Fe + 3CO2

Answer 1

Answer:

Fe2O3+ 3CO -- 2Fe + 3CO2

Since 16 Mole of CO2 is used Now Accourding to equation 3 mole of CO2 produces 2 Mole of Fe

Therefore 1 mole of CO2 will produce 2/3 mole of Fe

And 16 mole of CO2 will produce (2/3) *16 mole of Fe

== 10.67 moles of Fe

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

$Fe_{2} O_{3}$+ 3CO -- 2Fe + 3$CO_{2}$

Since 16 Mole of $CO_{2}$ is used Now According to equation 3 mole of $CO_{2}$produces 2 Mole of Fe

Therefore 1 mole of $CO_{2}$ will produce 2/3 mole of Fe

And 16 mole of $CO_{2}$ will produce (2/3) *16 mole of Fe

= 10.67 moles of Fe
